I am a user, developer, and advocate of GNU Octave. I started using Octave around May 2007 while working on my MSEE. I started submitting bugs and patches against Octave in February 2012, mainly to fix some compilation problems I had with the latest release on an older Red Hat Enterprise 5 system I used at work. One thing led to another and I am now a co-maintainer of the Octave project, frequent contributor to both development and discussion, bug triager, tester, etc.

bugs and working on Octave in February 2012, mainly to fix some
compilation problems I had with the newest version on an older Red Hat
Enterprise 5.2 system I use at work. One thing led to another and I am
now learning my way around the code base, helping to fix bugs, test,
etc.

My main areas of interest within the Octave project are
user experience, portability, particularly to different versions of
GNU/Linux and Unix, and the [[Signal package|signal processing]]
and [[Communications package|communications]]
packages. My primary development environment is Debian GNU/Linux.


I am involved in packaging and testing Octave for both the Debian and
* developing Octave's nascent [[Python interface]]
Ubuntu distributions. I am a member of the
* maintaining the [[Signal package|signal processing]] and [[Communications package|communications]] packages
[http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianOctaveGroup Debian Octave Group] and
* maintaining and improving Octave's build system
the [https://launchpad.net/~octave Ubuntu Octave Team].
* aiming for stability and consistency of user experience, portability, particularly to different versions of GNU/Linux and Unix
* encouraging new contributors, mentoring, and helping to build community around Octave
